2 1. Introduction The next few years will see seismic shifts in the way IT is delivered, as companies position themselves for convergence and cloud. If your business isn t ready to profit and grow from these changes, you risk falling behind in the market. Midmarket enterprise customers as well as Managed Service Providers (MSP) are looking for a simpler, more flexible, automated, and dynamic infrastructure that will better align IT resources with continually changing business demands. Embrace the change and invest in FlexPod, a pre-validated datacentre platform, employing best-of-breed components from NetApp FAS/e-series, Cisco UCS and Nexus switches. The perfect platform for future shared infrastructure solutions, FlexPod will make it simple for you to profit from tomorrow s cloud-led datacentre opportunities. Customers can start small and evolve into a FlexPod solution, maximising their existing IT investments whilst adopting a more strategic path to the cloud-ready datacentre all without sudden impacts on resources and budgets Unlike competing offerings, FlexPod s single architecture at all sizes means ultimate scalability. FlexPod scales up massively to accommodate even the most dynamically changing enterprise IT environment Use FlexPod to challenge multiple customer pain points: slow application deployment, complex workload provisioning, silos of server, storage and networking, proliferating management tools and inefficient processes Maximise returns on virtualisation and enable the move to converged systems and public, private or hybrid cloud delivery with FlexPod as the underlying shared infrastructure platform For the most predictable engagement, FlexPod is also available as a pre-validated, pre-sized frameworked solution that includes service support to ensure accurate scoping and trouble-free delivery Leverage FlexPod s industry-first features to close business: a Co-operative Support Model where all participating vendors support the solution, and secure multi-tenancy for private cloud. Industry leaders NetApp and Cisco have a powerful global presence and have been working together on a shared virtualised datacentre vision since They are transforming the datacentre with a unified architecture and virtualisation technologies that result in highly efficient virtualisation and cloud computing solutions built on jointly validated reference architectures. Together they have helped thousands of customers to increase efficiency and agility and reduce TCO. 2
3 2. The Converged Infrastructure Market evolution IDC forecasts the total integrated systems market will grow from $7.3 billion in 2013 to $17.9 billion in 2018, representing a fiveyear compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 19.6%. Avnet Technology Solutions EMEA therefore recognises this is an opportunity for the channel and calls for the channel to act now to drive growth in EMEA. The reason for this phenomenal growth is a shift in the way a growing number of customers are consuming IT. Customers are increasingly looking for systems that are simple to manage, easy to scale, provide elasticity, don t require advanced forecasting and deliver on the promise of software defined everything. What is FlexPod? FlexPod is a pre-designed, prevalidated infrastructure building block built on Cisco UCS, Cisco Nexus datacentre switches and NetApp FAS/e-series storage components. Plugging straight into virtualisation projects and virtualised environments, FlexPod is hypervisor ready and optimised for deployment alongside VMware and Microsoft Hyper-V. enables: Veeam The Veeam Availability Suite v8 integration with FlexPod Agent-less fast Backups from Storage Snapshots, with application consistency to protect critical applications and increase RPO without impacting storage performances High-speed recovery options to easily recover individual items or entire VMs from NetApp Snapshot, SnapMirror and SnapVault Fast, application-consistent recovery points by orchestrating NetApp Data ONTAP to create snapshot-only backups Reduced risk of data loss by automating the creation of secondary backups to NetApp SnapVault Verified protection by automating the testing of backups in the background and guarantee recoverability of every file, application and VM (virtual machine) A cloud-ready platform that enhances data availability by providing an efficient way to get backups off-site to a service provider Cisco UCS The Cisco Unified Computing (UCS) architecture was designed, from the ground up, for virtualised environments. It unifies compute, network, storage access, and virtualisation into a cohesive system. UCS has a radically simplified architecture: Dramatically reduces the number of devices that must be purchased, cabled, configured, powered, cooled, managed, and secured Extended memory technology allows UCS to support up to 384 Gigabytes memory and up to a 60% reduction in the cost of memory, thereby supporting more VMs per server than other competitor server manufacturers. Cisco Nexus Cisco Nexus datacentre switches use award-winning Unified Fabric technology to consolidate traffic onto one simplified, cost-effective architecture. Nexus switches also offer: Excellent scalability and fast, easy zero-touch installation Automatic configuration In-service upgrades Single point of policy management all greatly simplify management and increase efficiency, availability, and security APC by Schneider Electric By integrating the best-in-class offers of FlexPod from NetApp and Cisco with the APC by Schneider Electric portfolio of Infrastructure, Power & Cooling solutions, we can deliver a truly end-to-end solution which plugs-in to your business with no fuss, no mess, no waste and with maximum speed, and efficiency. APC Converged Infrastructure Solutions delivers fast and risk free deployment of FlexPod, guaranteeing large savings in time & cost on infrastructure design, build, deployment and relocation, while ensuring FlexPod stays Always On, with system management from afar for Remote & Branch Offices. 3

Big Data and Analytics Compact, cost-effective converged infrastructure Massively scalable shared virtual data center infrastructure Dedicated app infrastructure Primarily Branch, Retail, Edge, and SMB Enterprise / Service Provider Specialized environments within enterprises NetApp Unified Storage NetApp s multiprotocol unified storage platform for all tiers of storage provides advanced efficiency capabilities that dramatically reduce capacity use along with: Built-in data protection and scalability features Optimised performance with 10GbE or FCoE Efficiencies including built-in de-duplication, thin provisioning and rapid cloning Automated storage management, data protection and security features. Proven across a broad range of environments FlexPod has been pretested and jointly validated with popular hypervisors, operating systems, applications, and infrastructure software, including: VMware View and vsphere Citrix Xen Desktop Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) Oracle SAP Microsoft Exchange, SQL Server, and SharePoint Microsoft Private Cloud built on FlexPod FlexPod can be optimised to support several of these workloads simultaneously. NetApp and Cisco have also jointly developed reference architectures several of them Cisco Validated Designs, with prescriptive sizing guides to help you integrate and flex the solution to meet your specific requirements for the following critical environments: Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI). FlexPod is an easy-todeploy, self-contained virtual desktop solution in a rack. Its modular design facilitates rapid, repeatable deployment of thousands of virtual desktops. FlexPod integrates with, and is optimized for, VMware View and Citrix XenDesktop. A virtual desktop solution built on FlexPod provides unmatched price/ performance. You gain extreme efficiencies by deduplicating up to 90% of redundant user and OS data, and I/O performance can be accelerated by up to 50% with NetApp cache acceleration technology (Flash Cache). The extended memory technology of Cisco Unified Computing System provides the industry s greatest number of VMs per core density. Development and test. FlexPod enables rapid provisioning and deprovisioning of virtual resources, making it an ideal platform for development and test environments. NetApp FlexClone software facilitates rapid dev/test setup with cloning technology that lets you deploy thousands of spaceefficient VMs for new projects in minutes, accelerating time to production and time to market. Resources can be easily cloned and redeployed, reducing preparation time for other initiatives such as DR testing. FlexPod high compute and storage consolidation ratios and utilisation levels also enable you deploy development and test environments on a denser infrastructure that reduces space requirements and capital costs. 4
5 Business and disaster recovery. FlexPod can be configured with integrated data protection software to provide fast recovery from system, site, and regional outages for business continuity. The combination of NetApp MetroCluster and SnapMirror with Cisco UCS Manager and WAAS offers automated monitoring and failover, as well as cost-effective replication to a secondary site for continuous protection against unplanned downtime. Our solution also lets you move virtual server and storage resources and data nondisruptively across hardware to eliminate planned downtime. Secure multi-tenancy and secure separation. FlexPod leverages the Cisco SAFE architecture and NetApp MultiStore technology to deliver the industry s only secure multi-tenancy architecture1. Secure multi-tenancy enables each tenant application, business unit, or customer to be securely isolated within the FlexPod environment. Secure multi-tenancy provides the data separation and service-level guarantees offered by application silos, while delivering the efficiencies of a converged, virtualized infrastructure. FlexPod also securely separates nonvirtualized workloads across the data center. 2SMT has undergone and passed several security compliance tests PCI Compliance validation, FISMA certification and ICSA Audit. 3.
